... I'm just going to go ahead and comment on the language failure: If you steam your eggs they're not boiled, and steaming a hard boiled egg is pretty ineffective.

If you just said "steamed eggs" then people would probably assume poached ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The article itself talks about hard cooking eggs: it doesn't exactly roll of the tongue, but at least hard cooked steamed eggs or steaming your hard cooked eggs is less technically offensive.

Apparently if you steam instead of boil your eggs, they are always super easy to peel. I can't find my steamer basket right now tho so I can't try it yet :'(

I can confirm. I've been using one of these egg steamers for years. They work great and the eggs are very easy to peel.
